With this app you can enter the route and stop number and it will give the next arrival time for the next three bus trips. It will also point out the bus location from the next trip on a map so that you can see how far away it is.

NOTE: There are times in which GPS data is not available. In this case the next scheduled arrival time will be displayed and the map will not be available. If this is the case, please try again in a minute or two.

OC Transpo Live Updates

This application uses OC Transpo API to get real-time data for bus routes and stops. Most of the applications built with this API show only one route at a time. The idea behind this application was to create a web application that can get results for multiple routes on the same page and display them on the same map for better visualization and comparison. Registered users can add routes as favorites and access them easily while selecting stops. Also users can access their history which shows the user's last 10 requests.
